ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm Acacia from Alaska! I'm a fine-art photographer currently pursuing my BFA at Rhode Island School of Design. I'm interested in almost everything, very positive and flexible when traveling, and am rarely bored. I love the outdoors! I want to speak every language, go everywhere and see everything, but I´m just taking it one step at a time for now.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what you make it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I love every movie ever made by Miyazaki, but then also, you know, action and thriller and drama and romantic comedy and all that are great. Film is magic.

I like alternative rock and electropop, 90's dance hits and Scandinavian techno, folk and chill music - basically anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once caught a salmon with my bare hands.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share amazing recipes for delicious food, teach you some Norwegian? I love photographing people, so if you´re interested in being the subject of a photoshoot, let me know!
